Asbestos survey in Brockham
Plenty of older buildings, in Brockham as anywhere, have little or no asbestos, and much of what’s found can stay. A survey tells you which situation you’re in, so you can plan sensibly. People often contact us about rented homes between tenancies and kitchen, bathroom and rewiring projects, including flues, floor tiles and textured ceilings.
Rural homes near Brockham have often been extended over generations, so we survey each part the work will disturb. Work is planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance.

Helpful guides
Landlords, managing agents and employers
If your business premises in Brockham were built before 2000, you are likely to need an asbestos register and a management plan, and contractors must be told what’s there.
Before maintenance in a rented home, agents may ask about asbestos. A test or a survey gives everyone a clear answer.
Options to consider in Brockham
An existing survey might not cover your plans. If it was a management survey, it won’t have looked inside the fabric of the building where you are about to work, so planned refurbishment typically needs a refurbishment and demolition survey of those areas. Access makes a big difference to cost, so photos of the area and the way in help us quote accurately.

Materials, one by one
Roofing felt and bitumen
Some older roofing felts, bitumen products and mastics contain asbestos, typically bound in the bitumen.
Asbestos cement
Asbestos cement turns up on roofs, flues and outbuildings. Its condition matters as much as its presence.
Why people call us in Brockham
Asbestos went into roofing, boards, coatings, tiles, insulation and more, so there’s no single place to look, which is why surveys are systematic.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Demolition of garages, extensions and buildings
- Purchases of older homes and buildings
- Community buildings and halls
- Managing asbestos in workplaces and non-domestic premises
For a school like North Downs Primary School, the duty holder must manage asbestos and keep an asbestos register; we survey non-domestic buildings by arrangement with the duty holder.

What it costs
When we quote, we look at:
- Access: height, lofts, steps and space
- The size and age of the building
- The quantity or area
- The type of material and its condition
The cost of an asbestos survey depends on the job: the materials, the amount, access and what paperwork is needed. We quote each job individually.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, send:
- A picture of the whole area

Can I do it myself?
DIY sampling means disturbing the material yourself. HSE advises that samples are best taken by a competent person.
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
Brockham: your questions answered
Do you come out to small villages like Brockham?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can you deal with asbestos on rural buildings in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, the same rules apply there, but access to farm and rural buildings can take planning.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes, of course. For the shared areas of a block, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
My builder has found asbestos. What now?
The builder should stop and close off the area. We’ll identify it and advise on removal.
Will my homebuyer report check for asbestos?
Not really: a homebuyer or building survey may note possible asbestos, but it does not typically sample anything. A pre-purchase asbestos survey gives you that answer.
Is asbestos dangerous?
Breathing in asbestos fibres can cause serious diseases, often decades later. The risk comes mainly from disturbing materials that contain it, so identifying it before work is important.
Can you survey offices and warehouses?
We do: commercial, industrial and community buildings. Tell us about the building and what you need.
Should all asbestos be removed?
No. Material in good condition that won’t be disturbed can often be left and managed. Keep a record and check its condition.
After the job
Share the report with builders and trades before they start, so they know what to avoid or plan around.
If asbestos stays in the building:
- Clear access to lofts, garages, cupboards and outbuildings
- Keep children and pets away from the areas being surveyed
- Ask for the report in a format you can share with contractors
- Tell us about any areas that are locked or unsafe
Avoid these
Plan the survey early, before booking builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
Book the survey before the builders, so the results can shape your plans and your budget.
